[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a former employee of DC Prep. Don't let the sleek website and PR team fool you, this school is not a good place to send students. It promotes a drill and kill education, so sure, the students have great test scores, but they have no critical thinking skills at all. What really goes on when parents and families aren't around is a hostile environment that deals punishment similar to a military school. Expectations are outrageous and developmentally inappropriate for elementary age students. Kids should not be forced to sit quietly, walk in silent lines with their hands behind their backs, and be subject to an absurd discipline system that allows children as young as three to be suspended. They are not in the business of helping families. Instead of working with children who display challenging behaviors, they suspend them and force families to pick up their students each time there is a discipline issue (sometimes minor, sometimes major). This often inconveniences the parents so much that they are forced to withdraw their students from the school. This works well for DC Prep because they don't have to expel the students, which would reflect poorly on their network. [/quote]

Its funny to me that just in another thread a parent made an observation with regard to how undisciplined some students were on a field trip :roll: .  [/quote]
